Very entertaining movie, and it doesn't need to be remade. Fast-paced, improbable and witty; I enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended!

...but it is Will Hay after all.

Perhaps the best Will Hay film I have seen. The movie is fast paced and keeps the viewers interest to the end. Even though some of the dialogue is dated and sometimes hard to catch for a non Brit, there are enough one liners, jokes, and gags in this play, to keep the viewer entertained to the last scene.

I agree with Dr Feel Rotten. This movie should be remade.

I am in complete assent with the previous reviewers. A solid 5 stars for this classic British comedy.

This one is a real gem worth watching over and over. Someone will do a remake of this one if it hasn't been done already.
I loved this one and laughed all the way through.

All the events of the film begin due to a series of mistakes....... which turn out ok in the end ;)

Will Hay and Gang on top form once more

Speaking of Will Hay....

Has anyone got a good copy of Will Hay's Goverment Information Film "Go to Blazes" ?
